Chapter 513 Meeting an acquaintance at the party; Ethel returns?


    He stopped in his tracks and did not go forward again. He was standing still and quietly looking at the


    side of Lyra''s stunningly beautiful face.


    And he was also waiting for her answer.


    Lyra smiled brightly, "I have already married. And we have two kids. My husband is the president of


    White Corp. I believe that soon when he and you meet, you can also be friends. Tonight, I think


    our chatting is very congenial. I am very happy."


    She responded with generosity and appropriateness.


    Malcolm''s face gradually warmed up and he graciously walked over and wrapped his arms around


    Lyra''s slender waist.


    Lyra turned her head and saw Malcolm''s handsome face. She couldn''t help but smile. That was a


    heartfelt smile.


    "Here you are. Let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Grey, the founder and president of Duowiehl Group,


    and the first heir to the royal household of Atria."


    Lyra introduced him with a smile and looked to Nil, "Mr. Grey, this is my husband, President of White


    Corp and the patriarch of the White family."


    The two men looked at each other and did handshake in a familiar and friendly way.


    Nil was surprised, "I didn''t expect Ms. Lloyd''s husband to be you. What a coincidence."


    Lyra froze slightly and looked to Malcolm, "So you guys knew each other before?"


    Malcolm exined, "Yes, I''ve worked in Atria on a cross-country arresting case before. I''ve worked with


    Mr. Grey twice, so I''m his acquaintance."


    Nil could sense the warmth of the two as they conversed, and tut-tutted enviously, "Mr. Malcolm and


    Ms. Lloyd are both business geniuses, but also a loving and harmonious couple. Truly a match made in


    heaven, as the old Foplon saying goes."


    All three of themughed and the atmosphere was harmonious.


    Seeing that the time was right, Lyra took the opportunity to mention the cooperation.


    But Nil was a man who liked to go by the process when it came to work and didn''t explicitly say yes.


    "Ms. Lloyd, although I also want to cooperate with you the Lloyd''s Corp, my rule is that I must follow the


    process. I will hold a partner bidding session. When the timees, you can let your employees to


    make a business case. As long as it is not bad, I believe the cooperation between Duowiehl Group and


    the Lloyd''s Corp will be a sure thing."


    Since he had said so, attending the bidding session and going through the process was the only way.


    Lyra agreed graciously, "Mr. Grey, don''t worry. I will personally make the project with Duowiehl Group,


    so that you can see my determination for this cooperation."


    Nil looked at her rather admiringly and gave her a few heartfeltpliments.


    Because the cooperation wasn''t taken after all, Lyra was a little upset. For hispliments, she did not


    listen to a word.


    She had a decent smile on her face, but her mind was distracted.


    Because Malcolm was chatting with Nil, he didn''t notice her subtle differences of mood.


    Ady in a white dress brushed past Lyra.


    Lyra nced at her and abruptly frowned.

    When she raised her eyes, the white-skirteddy was already walking away, but her back was familiar.


    Like a person she knew!


    Lyra''s smile faded and her face turned grim.


    Was it really her? How could she possibly appear in such an asion?


    While Malcolm and Nil were still talking, Lyra had followed the woman.


    It was really simr.


    The more she looked at it, the more the woman looked like Ethel!


    Wearing such a high-fashion gown, she could only be the femalepanion of some president. Which


    rich man did she get close to after escaping from the countryside?


    Lyra''s inner suspicions swarmed, and a sense of unease wrapped around her as she chased after her


    faster.


    The ballroom was crowded, and thedy in the white dress, who was not far ahead, disappeared in the


    block of a tall man.


    Lyra paused in her steps and searched the surroundings for a while, not seeing the white dress figure


    that was so familiar just now.


    The organizer, Andrei, who was being entertained, quickly noticed the unusual anxiety on Lyra''s face


    and immediately apologized to the person who was negotiating with him and came over to ask Lyra.


    "Ms. Lloyd, what''s wrong? What''s the problem?"


    Lyra eyebrows knitted, still recalling the familiar figure she just saw, "I think I saw an acquaintance. A


    Andrei was confused by the question, "Ms. Lloyd, you are making it difficult for me. People whoe


    to the party tonight, basically brought their femalepanions. There are manydies in white


    dresses. They are all slender and beautiful. How can I recognize who your acquaintance is?"


    "But tonight more than half of the participant are international bigwigs. Their femalepanions are


    also foreigners with high status. Ms. Lloyd, if you want to find her, it''s easy. I can ask waiters to help


    you look out for the names of all the white dressdies. After the party, I''ll give you a list."


    Lyra listened and was satisfied with his thoughtful arrangement, "Thank you, Mr. Andrei."


    "No problem."


    Because of this incident, Lyra was distracted and disinterested in continuing to attend the party.


    Malcolm saw that she had something on her mind, and didn''t say anything in front of Nil, but just


    sped her hand in an unspoken way to give her a sense of security.


    The grand business party finally came to an end at 11:00 pm.


    Lyra got the list of women in white dresses from Andrei as she wished.


    Back in the car to Lyre Spiti, Lyra focused on the list and gave Eleven a call.


    "Later I will give you a list when I arrive home. Follow the identities and names on this list. Whether it is


    Dark Net search, or use the informationwork. In short, you must find the photo of each person."


    "Okay, don''t worry."


    Receiving Eleven''s affirmative answer, Lyra hung up, still focusing on the list.


    Malcolm watched her for several moments. He was driving with one hand while the other went for her


    palm.


    "Is something wrong?"


    Lyra mused, "It''s true that a bad thing never dies. Honey, I suspect Ethel is really not dead. I just saw a


    woman resembling her at the party."


    Malcolm became serious as well and helped her analyze.


    "Honey, could it be that you are mistaken? There are too many people with simr backs in this world.


    You can''t easily make a conclusion without seeing her face."


    "And this party, people who can be present are influential. When Ethel escaped from the countryside,


    you announced her death. Even if she''s still alive, she dare not appear with this identity."


    "The people who had been silently helping her behind her were your father and your bro ..."


    His face paled slightly and he quickly changed his tone, "And Collin. Now your father had passed away


    and Collin has stepped down from much of his power in Crana and no longer has the influence he had


    at the beginning. Whom else can she get help from to bring her to such a momentous asion when


    she has lost two greatest supporters?"


    Lyra was silent.


    She didn''t know.


    Ethel''s previous interpersonal circles were more clear.


    Because she had won major film awards at a very young age and was known for being aloof in the


    circle, she almost had no friends who were close to her in the entertainment industry.


    She waspletely pushed forward by Reginald and Collin before.


    Now that she was not the daughter of the Lloyd family, who else could she be with?
